    The dinner was amazing, staff was friendly and very attentive. Wine list/ cocktails are superb! This is a steakhouse and the steaks ordered at our table reflected why this is such a popular restaurant!! Our appetizers, salads and soups delicious, too. My only suggestion to management is improvement of seafood entrees. My salmon was “just ok,” and I immediately regretted not ordering steak with the price of entrees. ( To be fair, my husband told me to never order seafood at a steak restaurant, and I will not in the future:). Great place for a special occasion and we love to visit while visiting Chicago!

    This was a fantastic meal. From coatcheck through out we very much enjoyed ourselves. Our service was spot on— thank you JJ! — the steaks were absolutely perfect. Brussels sprouts and whipped potatoes were fantastic. Selected NY strip and t-bone; requested each cooked to different temperatures and both PERFECT. Lovely spacing on tables, no wedging yourself into a tiny spot. Just really wonderful. Absolutely going again and again.
